BIOGRAPHICAL PROFILE
Johnny Lewis
An American actor. Also credited as Johnny K. Lewis.
Lewis began making television appearances while in his late teens with guest starring roles in Boston Public (2000), The Guardian (2001) and American Dreams (2002), among others.
His debut feature film performance premiered in 2004, in New Line Cinema’s Raise Your Voice, and he followed that up with Miramax Film’s Underclassman in 2005.
Lewis acted in the short-lived FOX television sitcom series Quintuplets as Pearce Chase and appeared in the 2004 movie Raise Your Voice alongside Hilary Duff.
He also guest starred in four episodes of the Nickelodeon television series Drake & Josh as Scottie, one of Drake’s bandmates. Lewis played Dennis “Chili” Childress, one of Marissa Cooper’s new friends from Newport Union High, on the TV show The O.C.
Lewis is best known for his role as prospect biker Kip “Half-Sack” Epps in the first two seasons of the FX original series Sons of Anarchy.
In Alien vs. Predator: Requiem, Lewis is seen having a star-shaped tattoo on both of his shoulders.
Johnny Lewis was found dead September 26, 2012 in a bizarre scene where LAPD discovered the actor and an 81-year old woman dead.
On September 26, 2012, Lewis and his 81-year-old landlord, Catherine Davis (known by most of her tenants as “Miss Cathy”), were found dead at Davis’ home. Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) found Lewis’ body on the home’s driveway. Davis was found dead inside the villa, which appeared to have been ransacked. Davis’ death was investigated as a homicide, in which Lewis was a suspect. It was later determined that Lewis broke into the house and murdered Davis and killed her pet cat. According to multiple reports, police were called to the scene after neighbors heard the 81-year-old woman screaming.
Neighbors told police they saw a man jump the fence on the Davis property, assault a painter and a homeowner next door, then jump back over the fence. According to the LAPD, Lewis then either fell or jumped from the roof, garage, or patio of Davis’ villa. An autopsy report released on November 29, 2012 stated that Lewis did not have any drugs or alcohol in his system when he died. Lewis had a history of drug abuse, leading to speculation by his attorney that the actor may have suffered a drug-induced psychosis when he allegedly killed his landlord. However, toxicology reports came back negative for alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, psychedelic drugs, or anti-psychotic medication. The autopsy report did indicate he had suffered partial strangulation and had fingernail marks on his neck when he died. There was no indication that Lewis had been pushed or that he jumped from the roof in an act of suicide. His death was ruled accidental.
His family has spoken out about Lewis’ history of untreated head trauma, leading some to speculate that he developed a psychological disorder, which led to his sudden spurts of violence. Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter tweeted about Johnny Lewis’ death: “It was a tragic end for an extremely talented guy, who unfortunately had lost his way. I wish I could say that I was shocked by the events last night, but I was not. I am deeply sorry that an innocent life had to be thrown into his destructive path. Yes, it’s day or mourning, but it’s overpriced a day of awareness and gratitude. sadly, some of us carry the message by dying.”
